Painkiller Already - PKN 574

Episode Date: August 19, 2025

P.K.N. 574. I have not spoken to Kyle since Saturday night. Saturday night we watched Cosmot fight Drickus Dupley. And I said, did I say it wrong? No. Both names wrong. Comes up to my thought, Drickus Duplessi. It's a matter of opinion. Yeah, yeah. It's a matter of spelling. People say it different ways, even in this call. Back up, Taylor. No, my only exposure are these people is you too. So 50% of the people I've heard say this name say it in the way what he does. Anyway,

before the fight Kyle said that he really won a DEP to win. Really, really. And that if it lost, it wouldn't just ruin his night. It would ruin his month. And who knows? Maybe it ruins 2025. He was very much invested in Drichus DuPlessi.

Yeah. Get a better. I'll get better. And I was like I'm concerned. I think, think it will be hard to find 15 seconds in a row of this fight where Duplessi looks like he's the better man. And that's how it turned out. There was one spot where it was like 12 seconds, like almost of the 25 minutes. And then at the end, there were 30 seconds where DDP was on top,

but Cosmot was literally holding his wrists, making it so he couldn't be holding him on top, like still having what he wanted to happen as he ran at the clock. It was, I don't know what the scores was. Did he have 10 rounds? I googled, I googled for the scores. I wanted them because I think, I was wanting to know how many 10-8s there were. I was wanted to know if everyone agreed about how many 10-8s. Also, I'm often interested if there's one judge who's just like,

might as well be Taylor scoring the fight or even worse. You know, not even Taylor, my girlfriend's scoring the fight. What could be worse. Yeah. I couldn't find the score cards. even after the fight I googled twice and couldn't find them but it was a crazy crazy crazy

crazy dominant performance most people that I've seen talk about it talk about how boring it was except for like the like jujitsu ground game defenders who defend it look there was a time when oh great here's the cards 10 oh my god

all right that got all right 1108 mostly 109s with a 108 okay everybody gave you a 108 in the third round which is like okay such a weird scoring system in this sport you're so right i explain it every saturday fight night it's so bad once you understand it you understand it and it's never a problem again but um there are people like rogan who he came on board like ufc nine or something like that and he had to explain to the general like viewer what was going on when they went to the ground and

people would get upset um and what people stood up when someone's like working an arm They've got it three quarters of the way there Or work at a triangle choke or whatever from the bottom And they're like, get them up, let him fight No, no, no, you don't understand. Like, he just got his teeth beat in So he could get in this position. He's almost there.

He's 20 seconds away from breaking an arm Or choking him unconscious. And you need you to explain this. People like, look, this is fighting. But I got to say, even if I was a Kamsat guy, I'd be like, man, that was his most boring performance ever. I've watched all his fights. They're usually razzled.

dazzle. He usually stomps people's asses into the ground. And I'm not saying it wasn't incredibly dominant. We just saw the scorecard and I think it was worth. I think that scorecard's wrong. I think there were more 10-8s. I don't think you, I think he needs to do more damage to 10-8s. That's my frustration. So if you're able to watch the fight,

Cosmot, in the opening 30 seconds of every round, if that's not right, it's super close. Got a takedown and then he got what's called a crucifix position. So imagine the guy on the ground laying like this. one arm's between both knees and the other arms being controlled by the guy's upper body.

And he held that crucifix. It's a very vulnerable position. Usually what people do is they drop elbows on the head, do tons of damage, get knockouts, and fight. What Cosmon did is he focused very much on maintaining the crucifix and just sort of laid and prayed for 25 minutes. And a lot of people felt like that was boring. I think it was boring and I like ground fighting more than average but he didn't do enough to even to get his opponent out of there he just did enough to clearly win every scorecard

I see stuff on social media every time there's a big UFC fight just the same way I'll see stuff for like MLB playoffs but even in my universe I saw so many people posting like this is I don't care how skilled this guy is this is the most boring shit I can't believe I paid for this he's not even trying to beat him up he's just running out the clock like this isn't this isn't entertaining and so I had a more favorable view of it than what you described and what you described is accurate as to what social media saw I thought he was trying to get

him out of there I thought drickis was just the middleweight champion of the world and he was doing a really good job of surviving I think I thought that drickis had an incredible gas tank it's way more taxing to be on the bottom of that of that 25 minute onslaught than the top to withstand it and to constantly be moving and to have your breathing controlled. And yet, at the end, Drick has still had gas. He was gas more than I've ever seen him. But he still had, he wasn't like huffing and puffing. He wasn't dead to the world.

He was still defending. And he was on top at the very end. I saw DDP the next day. I think he was drinking a beer. And he does not look like he got into a fight yesterday. He looks fine. I didn't see any marks on his face. Now, some people don't mark as easily as others.

Usually white people mark up a lot. But DDP look fine. Yeah, he was doing a really good job in those crucifixes of turning his head to his left. And really, Comzac couldn't hit him very well. And a lot of his hits were the kind of hits that any of us would be like, that doesn't really hurt. Like, you know, just lots of taps. I looked at the total strikes.

He didn't hit him 500 times, but it was close. I think it was over 500. Oh, I thought I saw 470 hits or something like that. that he hit that man 470 times versus like 40, 50, 60 hits coming the other way it was incredibly one-sided

I have the numbers let's see he hit him 567 times but of those 38 were significant strikes so there were like 500 I don't know the math I lost the numbers already

but there were like 530 insignificant strikes That's the lay and prey that I was talking about All he did is control the body And he never went for finishes really Yeah and my prediction was absolutely correct It has ruined my month I think I'm going to take some time away from the sport

Like not even kidding I'm not kidding I don't think I'm as much of it That may be less of a fan of the sport I'm not going to watch as much now I won't watch the next few events I'm hoping that he dies In a car accident or something

There's some good smaller fighters Dude that that card was good the third fight of the night and the fourth fight of the night, the ones that came before this is the fifth, spinning elbow chaos in like the first or second round. Yeah, spinning four-arm, the same move. Yeah. Just follow those guys now then, if they're exciting.

Oh, those guys are good, those guys are like. We hardly know them. Those guys won't fight for another year and a half or something. There's so many UFC athletes. There's a lot. I really care about the top 15 of each division, and mostly the top 15 of 145, 155, and higher.

I don't really care about the little guys as much. That's the stuff I follow closely on everything. But yeah, that was upsetting. And I immediately, I had muted and deafened after the first round, because I wanted to hear the fight for one thing. I know something you don't. A guy in the call was like, Kyle, Kyle, Kyle,

I've been waiting to ask you a question. And then Scum goes, Kyle's muted and deafened right now. And I don't think he's in a place to answer your questions. It's at the end of the month. And as he's explaining it, and now he's gone. Now he's not here anymore. So Kyle never heard the person's question and exited without saying goodbye because it was not his name.

He can at me any time he wants in there. I reply every time. But I went in the other room. My girlfriend was like, how'd it go? I won't talk about it. I don't talk about it. I didn't go well. America lost.

America wasn't in that I thought that was like a British guy fighting like some It was a South American versus Russian maybe It's hard to say what Kamsat is He's one of those like Russian Muslims from Chechnya But he's fought out of

He fought out of Sweden or something He fought out of Sweden because I think he immigrated there Like the rest of that trash And then like he trained under them Under their wonderful social programs I'm sure like the scumb bag he is and then as soon as he was a star he took that Saudi or Dubai

money or whatever and I'm sure they've got him set up in some kind of a fucking orchard of figs or something type villa with camels and racing horses these days that faggot I don't know it sounds like a sweet set up yeah Taylor one of those faggot Muslims you know the type

yeah very conflicted it's like literally none of them yeah Google T-boy Google T-boy they just can or homosexuality against children a different thing he'd be one of the guys like throwing him off a roof

that's what I picture more fuck that piece of shit I just say it was a rapper you a big fan yeah T-E-A T-E-A oh oh okay and at Afghanistan while you're at it but yeah I that was upsetting

yeah those guys keep little boy slaves but it's not gay because they're little boy slaves right and we had to like US soldiers had to be like don't you know don't interrupt the local culture you know that guy's giving us some good

information about the bad guys and yeah he has like a boy dancing seductively for him serving him tea oh it's just kind of look the other way if you listen to that guy um they call him shrek um john mcfrey john mcfee is that was a navy seal he's the only guy I've ever heard of they got sent

on solo missions like fucking rambo they would send him behind enemy lines into the mountains of afghanistan he would just get on buses and in donkey carts and blend in with the population and he'd go get people and find people and get intel and he was having to spend the night

at this Wadi one night, this house, and they were raping, he's like, yeah, they just took the boy in the back and raped him, and it's like, what am I going to do? Am I going to kill everybody in this house right now? And like make these people my enemies and then try, I'm already behind enemy

lines. These are the only people who are kind of friendly to me. They're willing to smuggle me out, but they're child rapers. So I just, you know, allow the child rape to go on and I lived to fight another day. I haven't heard that story, but I've heard him tell stories and if he got like, so he's shopping in some town trying to buy vegetables. And if anyone like accused him of being a spy or a seal or whatever, he'd just pretend he was retarded because he didn't speak the language. Oh, what a cover. I always made sure I had large amounts of candy falling out of my pockets.

Overflowing the candy. Who had a full leg Shaggill is. Oh, like a way over the top, like non-politically correct retard mode. Like he would go full retard. They would stop his, there would be a checkpoint.

He'd be in the back of some truck, you know, behind some, with a bunch of goofballs or whatever. And they'd be like, they'd be talking to him in Arabic and poking their guns in his chest. And he was like,

a-oh! Like, like, scream retard in their face and just be as weird as he could. He's like, they hated that. I, I didn't like him, a cheetah. Ask me that just do not have patience for this today.

Let him go out. Yeah, that was a bummer. I really am going to stay. Whenever something like that happens, whenever I feel like the bad guys win, I do stay away from the sport for a few weeks to get that out of like the headlines and the journalist minds and off the screens. And like, I don't want to hear about that guy. He's going to turn.

Cosmott's going to be one of the least active champions forever. He's going to go turning around immediately. he's turning around immediately he's fighting on the Dubai card oh yeah who yeah um I don't know who the opponent will be do you know when it is I don't know and it he'll fight in the next three months I would like that one of the things I really liked about

DDP is he was a very active champion he fought at least twice a year and DDP was great I hope he earns a client back up the mountain and gives in another go, I don't, there was nothing in the first fight that made me think another one would go differently, but we'll see. Oh yeah, I don't know. Drickis can't beat that guy and he never will beat that guy is the case. He can't and he will never.

I watched Drickis' his training camp and I watched the guy he was training with, you know, shoot on him and he would, you know, push the guy's head down, get his leg free and then back to stand up and the other guy the guy he's training with was like yeah back to stand up but that's not what Cosmot does Cosmod is relentless

once he starts the takedown he finishes the takedown he was like eight for 10 or eight for 11 takedown something like that and it would have been more like he could have been 30 takedowns

except when he took him down he kept him down for entire rounds like he'd keep him down for three four minutes at a time it was it was incredible control he's incredibly talented i i don't know who's going to beat him but it's going to be a a guy who can

wrestle um clearly it's going to be a guy who can deal with that on reddit today and so he's in the octagon right this is cosmon he just won the championship a thing that most fighters absolutely dream of and he gets on the mic and he's like dana give me that fucking money care a lot more about that than this shit belt yeah oh my gosh He is such a heel. That's what he said before the fight. He said it after as well. This is like, and Dana's in the camera, like in the background of the shot as he's saying

this and he's clearly not happy that he called it a shit belt and only wanted the money and I, and I'm like, oh, Dana's going to feed him to the wolves now. Who's the wolf right near Derrador? Like that's the only guy I can think of. That's the problem. Cosmod's the only wolf. Everyone else is a rabbit. it. I know, I saw Rainier

De Ritter call him out, and I saw another guy call him out who's also a wrestler. You're going to need a fucking jujitsu and wrestling, fucking background, bad motherfucker who can also strike. I don't know what you're going to do with that guy. He is one-dimensional, but his dimension is incredible.

It was... The only thing Poverati could do was sing. Can he go up a weight class? Can he go up 205 and do that to those motherfuckers? Like, I don't know. He's so got... He's talked about... Yeah, he's talked about being a triple champ. And I don't know why he couldn't go down and destroy RD. What's his name?

The 170 pound champ, it's a, I just know the acronym. It's like RDA or something like that. I don't see any reason why he couldn't do the same thing to that guy. I don't know why he couldn't be double champ if he could just make the way. But I don't think you'd make 170 anymore. But I would be surprised if he couldn't go up 205 and Ragdoll, Ankelyev or whoever that. I think Ankelyev is a 205. Yeah.

Yeah. I hated that. I hated every minute of it. Yeah. Did you hear scum much? I know you were deafened a lot. I didn't hear anything. No, I was muted and deafened since the first round.

Scum, he might have had money on Cosmot if he didn't. He was clearly, clearly, clearly rooting for Cosmott. You know, every round was a 10-8. He was asking about 10-7s. and other people were trying to say like oh you just wait once we get into rounds four or five ddp's dragging him into deep water we're going to see if he can swim and scum's like looking like michael phelps at this point it was there are people rooting for for ddp but it's jack delana or something at 170 or one uh one one i don't know how to pronounce this

name jack della medelena he's got one of these nose where it's like, dude, just get it fixed. Dude, I love that. He's like a hockey player waiting until his career's over to get the teeth. Bro, a nose is different, though. You just straighten that bitch out. It's pretty off-kilter, I'm looking at it. You know, Islam's going up to fight him.

That's the next fight. Islam Makachev has left 155 vacated his belt, and he's going to fight that guy. And I don't see any reason why he's not going to beat that guy. And then the dream can true is 170-pound champ. Islam Makachev takes on 185-pound champ Kamzat-Chamayev. and no matter who loses I'm happy. Like, I hope they kill each other in that. That'd be great.

They do that thing like superheroes where they both hit each other at the same time and they just fall over dead. Like Rocky did at the end of two, maybe? I forget. Oh yeah, they're both down and they're just waiting on one of them to stand up and be able to, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was rough. And I really will be taking some time away from the sport.

Well, that's a good sport to take time away from because it's not like every week. Yeah, it's like, I'm taking time off at least once at least six weeks i'm not gonna watch the next good card i'm out till september yeah i usually watch every card i watch the fight nights i i watch the early prelims i watch i'll start those things at 6 p.m and i won't be done watching until 1 a.m. uh and i love every minute of it um you know but uh just not this time oh man i i hate it when my guys lose i hate when my guys lose i was watching m mhm a guru the YouTuber and he he likes drickus a lot he's he's met drickus he

flew to South Africa and trained with Drichis and interviewed him. And then pre-fight, like in the days preceding the fight, he had Drickus on his show and interviewed him and stuff. And I tuned into him during the fight to see what he was going. He was like, fucking I think he was dropping slurs.

He was like, that's how those people are, those fucking desert savages. And then he's like, that Chechen piece of shit. I bet the Russians were raping your grandmother. Where was your ground game? Then you piece of shit. there's a reason you don't you speak Russian in your country like he was yeah because it's Russian

no no no the Chechens were conquered by the Russians absolutely not no they're not Russians they're not Russians they're Chechens I mean it couldn't have been that big of a conquer I didn't hear about it facts the 90s I had bigger things on my plate in the night Pokemon Green was out building forts It was a whoopin. It was one-sided, and I just don't see.

He looks unbeatable. He looks absolutely unbeatable. I don't know. I hope we get to see him lose, but I don't know if I don't know if whoever will. Is Dana White going to want to use him a lot if people like turned off by the style? He's putting up against like, because like he said he was exciting when he's not taking on like the world beaters. but if all he can do is this style against the really top guys and lay there I know Dana doesn't like boring this is the first time he's ever not ragdolled someone and gotten them out of there in the first or second round it might be because DDP is so strong

DDP's a gigantic champion Can you get a picture of DDP for us Zach? He with an incredible gas tank He looks like an action figure He absolutely does Well they'll do a rematch of this one right No, they'll have to No

no he was so dominant there's no reason to like when he got he got his ass stomped there's no that you do a rematch when in a couple cases you do a rematch if it drickus's only this was this was drickus's second defense i think uh of his belt um if it had been very close you'd be oh man that could have gone either way let's let's do that again so you because i mean you were the champ let's give you the benefit of the doubt i bet you get him the second time thank you or if uh drickis had been the champion for 10 fucking years or something like that although Jose Aldo didn't get his rematch, did he? In some cases like that, I think he's popular enough.

Connor doesn't fight. Connor doesn't fight. Conner's his own bullshit. But no, there will be no rematch. He'll fight someone else. I hope it's Derritter. I watched the Ritter's last fight. He took out Boe Nickel, just dominated Boe Nickel, but fraud checked him big time.

And I think he said something like, I just took out the best American wrestler. Now I want the best Chechen wrestler or something like that. It's a pretty good line. So I would like it. I like it. Yeah, I'd like to ridder to do the, to do the, I want to see Bill Nicol.

I didn't see that fight, but I'm told Bo Nicol tried to, like, stand with him, and he didn't do what he does. And Cosmott doesn't make that mistake. Cosmott does what he does. I'm so, I would be, I would hate to fight Comzaa. He's the worst person.

Like, we talk about, like, who you would fight? And people are like, would you fight Francis and Ghanon? I'm like, yeah, he's going to hit me once. And he's on the other side. I feel like it, look, DDP is a monster, and I'm very impressed with his durability. But in that fight, I could have endured being held down for 25 minutes. That's just a good night. Part of me would also be like, this is good cover because I'm exhausted.

The bottom's more exhausting, but only if you fight back, I don't know what you go. Yeah, I'd much rather fight a grower. Turtle mode. If I'm doing a fucking exhibition event where I'm going to get my ass kicked, I'm not going for Francis Inganu or Brock Lesnar to like break my teeth. I'm going to pick some guy exactly like Kamsat. He's going to put me in some goofy pretzel hole that I'm going to tap. And I'll be just like DDP.

I won't be injured the next day. I watched UFC 7 last night. It's on YouTube for free. Who's in it? Shamrock's the championship fight. was it against crazy I didn't watch the championship fight because three fights in I was feeling a little queasy

from the blood the UFC used to be a lot tougher than it is now the UFC used to be a lot harder to watch because they were just like it was like bar fights that someone should have stopped already but they were still going like old UFC clip this is years ago now I went on like a YouTube rabbit hole watching them

and I got onto this other rabbit hole of one of the old fighters who was just seemingly covered in blood regularly, Tank Abbott, and this guy just looked like a barroom bruiser, and he was consistently covered with blood, his own and the other persons. It didn't seem to clean the mat back then.

They kind of just let it be bloody. They don't even now. Just so you know you are getting a little ruby. But yeah, even now, like if a prelimb fighter, one of the earlier nights, they don't have a way to, like, swap out the mat and put in a fresh one. So sometimes you watch a fight and you're like, whoa, what happened in the prelims?

Did they live? I like that. I like that, you know, we'll get to the main card and I'll jump in the Discord and they're like, what happened to the prelims? Oh, that was a little Asian girl, actually. It was bad. It looked like she got hit in the face with an axe. Yeah, it gets rough sometimes, but watching UFC 7, I linked it over there.

And it's like, God, it's over. let him up. This fight that I linked here, the guy with the blonde hair on the bottom, you can see if you're watching the clip, it's time stamped, the other guy's grabbing his mullet. The other guy has a fistful of mullet. That's how he took him down.

He just grabbed his fucking hair and took him down. It's a lot fewer rules back then. That's not Bruce Buffer. That's his older brother, right? I think it was, yes. Yeah. Michael Buffer, I think his name is. I think it was. Yeah, I didn't watch back then.

Obviously, I was a kid, but my uncle would, he had the VHSs, and he would come over and he'd talk about, like, what he had seen. And the famous one is when that black guy and the Ghee put the guy in the crucifix and had the elbows. I think he was on the bottom. He had a crucifix from the bottom, I think. Am I, am I remembering this wrong? It's a long time ago. Okay. These guys in this clip, Kyle, don't look like professional fighters.

yeah well that's and the whole format was different i think that's a tournament so there's no weight classes back then you just fought uh whoever it was and i think there were no weight classes no weight classes no and so like i think you had to fight three or four times in a night a lot of times guys would be like nah i'm not going to be able to make it out i know gracey didn't go out one time or maybe multiple times there's a few guys who didn't fight the last fight of the night because they claimed injury or this or that and the other um i heard don fry talk about he's like they don't pay me to tap they don't pay me to back out they pay me to fight i knew i was walking into an ass whooping but that was an ass whooping i'd been well paid to take

he's such a lines dan severn he's just such a bad mother that was dan snevron don fry oh don't right yeah yeah he has that very famous taylor have you seen don fry in that big japanese dude punch each other in the face with no defense yes i've seen that as a gift form and I'm like, this is awesome. This is the best fighting club. I want to say, Ty Domi got in. No, no. Is it Ty Domi?

And some Boston guy who got into a similar fight in hockey? Yeah, and they just kept trading right back and forth the same way. It's like, I'm going to knock you out before you knock me out. That's tight. I saw that fight in 2005. My buddy downloaded it on his computer and we watched it in the living room. They're like, you got to see this. And it was just them in that corner just trading right hands to the face.

like rock'em-sock them robots or something like that it's crazy yeah they don't really do that anymore this is one of the outside of sumo one of the biggest Asian people I've ever seen because I assume Don Fry is also gigantic yeah I don't know big he's a super naturally testosterone ridden at that point super physiologically I'm going for it he's already more man than most like like he's got that

gravelly badass man voice and he's got that gigantic mustache like he's already manly man but then they juiced him up to be he's so american he'd wear these american like uh 1990 swimmer briefs almost with like american flag on it and uh he'd go out there and just i think he carried an american flag into the ring too it was like he was almost like the american iron chic going into the pride events yeah yeah i never thought of it that way for sure i i don't know how the japanese audiences viewed Americans back then. It seemed like they were just kind of chill after World War II. Like they didn't hold a grudge. Not that they hate Americans, but they very much prefer the Japanese

fighters. They root for the home team in a way that Americans don't. Americans will latch on to a guy from Dagestan or Brazil or anywhere in the world, South Africa in this situation in this call. But Japanese, they root for the Japanese guys. They're very loyal to the home team more so than Americans. And that's one of the reasons pride went down. They the Japanese fighters were not the best and Japanese didn't want to come out and watch their people lose Yeah, I can't think of any big Japanese guys in UFC

Do they have any top contenders in any weight class? Or really any Asians now that I'm thinking about it. There are Asians. So there's definitely, well, there's a Chinese woman and we all know Chinese-Japanese, same thing. Yeah, close. But Japanese, I think we have one the top boxers right now.

His nickname's The Monster, but his real name is foreign to me anyway. I don't know. But he's fun to watch. There's been some good Korean fighters as well. The UFC's been trying to open up different world markets. They introduced their first Indian fighter about

six months ago. It was one of the most one-sided beatings I've ever seen. It was bad. You know a good nickname for an Indian fighter? It would be like the freight train. because that's something like it's like Batman he named himself after something he fears

I've lost his family to those sneaky trains Woody the power line live wire yeah live wire yeah yeah dude that yeah Indians I saw like this horrible graph at least horrible if you're from India that was like here's the all-time Olympic metal count for Croatia, a tiny little country in this tiny little corner of the, you know, smallest continent in the world. And here's it for India. And it was like 10 times as many for

Croatia. Like, like, four million people there are like winning more sporting events than 1.7 billion or whatever India's at. Yeah, they got to get it together. I use athletics. But they do value engineering and doctors and shit like that. And their country's on the upswing. We'll see. I don't know. Seems like it sticks there. Did you guys watch the whole, I don't know what to call it? First, the Trump meeting with Putin and then the thing at the White House were all the European leaders game?

Did you follow that at all? It followed it. I didn't watch a lot of video. I just read about it. Any good moments? I watched it nonstop. I was fat. I'm always wanting to, because it's like when Putin steps off the plane, I'm trying to get inside his head.

And I'm like, man, I better don't trip. I'm thinking that. I'm thinking like, because the eyes of the planet are on you, you know? And if you, and if they're not, then if you trip, they will be. Like, like, I'm thinking like, oh, don't do anything stupid. Don't embarrass yourself. I'm looking for any faux pos. And it was very interesting.

Putin lands in Alaska, I guess, an Air Force base. They got like four F-22s parked on the, part next to the behind the stage that he has to walk past on a red carpet. And then they've got a B-2 bomb. flanked with four F-35s flying over Putin doing a flyover and there's a moment where he like he looks up and it was almost like that Willem Defoe meme like uh I bet it was left and I but I bet it to be it very much vibe this like demonstration of American military matter sure sure yeah a little just a little soft gloved intimidation tactic you know he travels with a you know that he travels with a poop briefcase. They collect his feces and urine so that when he's a broad. So they collect them

and bring them back. And there's a guy whose job it is to, you know, carry the presidential shit so that they can't be analyzed by foreign powers to kind of determine if he may have an illness. To see that he has like a vitamin B deficiency or something. Sure. Or anything like that. I don't know what could be done with it, but he definitely doesn't want U.S. having his do-do. so he has a guy I wouldn't want any job where that level of care was something you need to think of that's crazy

but I guess they are paranoid over there because they're you know he knows the KGB was like poisoning people with you know sharp tipped umbrellas in the 70s and the US does stuff like that too and so he's it's good you know what

I'm glad to hear that he's collecting his own poop when he comes to the US because it means he's that's nervous like that's not like a he leaves only footsteps when he goes abroad he does he's very green that's something I like about him and see how green

he is so nothing came of that I mean not me of course but people say that yeah nothing came of that in public places like botanical gardens and that was wild that's what you gotta do you're gonna do beauty and grandeur

the classicest place I can imagine taking a public shit frankly like you might as well shit in the punch bowl with somewhere I know oops everybody gets one so nothing came with that there was no ceasefire no no agreements were there any clips of them talking or was it all just you know you saw the little deplaneing not of the actual negotiations no you didn't get anything of the actual negotiations you got a little bit of a some podium stuff later on but but nothing really people were trying to make a lot out of nothing and one of my

like mantras for this presidential term is like don't jump at every piece of bait out there but like Trump held his palm up like for Putin to grab it and they're like look how submissive he is whatever I'm not going to make a big deal out of that when they came to the podiums normally the president would speak first especially in America

but in this case Putin just like started going like people were everyone's like hustling to get their notepads out and see what he says and they're acting like that with some display of dominance but whatever he speaks good English he thinks quite good English I know he's fluent German. He got into the presidential limousine with Donald at the Air Force base and went from there

to wherever they did in negotiations. And they're like in the car. And there's such a funny picture. Because you can see Donald. He's on the passenger side, rear backseat. And then Putin's sitting next to him. And Putin's just, they're like laughing and yucking it up in there. And it's just like, God, that was, everyone sees that that car's full of villains, right? so Ukraine are clearly the good guys in this thing right Russia attacked Ukraine I don't but it seems like Russia's our ally more than our ally is in this situation and I'm trying to rat my head around like why everyone's okay with this why everyone's kind of not and no one seems to have a problem they're like hey you know what I think Ukraine should

give up even more land than the Russians have taken like everything the Russians have taken and some extra and of course Crimea and you know fuck a little spending around money and uh and that's our our deal and I'm like we're like negotiating on behalf of the Russians

and they don't want Ukraine to have any security assurances from the West and they don't want Ukraine to have an army in there and it's like what kind of negotiation is this they're clearly working on behalf of the bad guys to help them achieve their goals. And he's still

funding Ukraine, right? I don't even know. I know Trump cancels some of it, but it's hard for the on again, off again to know where we are today. I think the way it works. Intelligence is still turned off, maybe? It's all, so NATO pays for the equipment, and they buy it from us, and then it's given

to Ukraine. So that's the deal now, that everything that they get from us, they pay for. Well, the Europeans pay for, and then we give it to the Europeans, and then they give it to the Ukrainians. That's the Trump deal with uh do we also we're getting paid for up front yes and do we fund nato before we get paid by nato yes probably he got he also got nato to do that five percent the fun thing about being

american is you pay for anything you can imagine globally we pay for anything you can fathom bunny ranches in zimbabwe we somehow are peeling off a piece of our tax dollars to send to nonsense it's it's absurd trump did something that i do like a lot this is what happens one of Trump's friends was like, I paid $1,600 for, and then it was one of the fat loss things. It wasn't Ozempic. I don't know the name of it. And then he's like, but then I bought the exact same thing from like a European channel. And it was $68.

$1,600 versus 68. That's the gap. And he's like, why do we pay so much more, so much more? And Trump is like, that's ridiculous. And he issued an indicative order to like, to, fix that. And I was like, fuck, is he going to do something about drug prices? If he does something about drug prices,

oh my gosh. Or maybe he only does it for his friend, his bad friend. You're like, third term. Yeah, that is really gay how everything with drugs is so expensive here. It's like, okay, so like, we're paying the price that funds the research for all of this and

all the other countries are paying the paying cost. Like, what the fuck? I agree. And then we also punt, I'm sorry, funded the research with our tax dollars oftentimes like at the university level so first we pay for the r d through tax dollars and then we pay for i guess more for the rest of the drug's life until it becomes generic and then even then i bet we pay it is so wildly unfair yeah i i mean it seems this is an issue where i do claim both sides like neither the republicans or the democrats seem to

ever do anything about it no they're paid off by far and the media only like blows pharmaceutical companies like watch it's always jarring going to my grandparents house and like seeing Fox on TV every fucking commercial is are you old and fat are you old and your dick doesn't work are you old and your blood pressure or this and that every single

spot psoriasis exema like it doesn't matter and so like psoriasis used to keep me from enjoying my day no longer now I can ride a bike with my multiracial family Taylor's doing this thing. He says, are you old and fat? Are you old and your dick doesn't work?

Are you old in high blood pressure? And I'm like baseball cards. Got it, need it, got it. Yeah. Oh, man, maybe they've got one pill for it. Maybe I should watch a little Fox News and see what this is. I need to inquire about it to my doctor. Yeah, it's your day.

And then so of course, like no matter what show you turn on TV, they're never going to be critical of big pharma. Like some showrunner is going to come in and be like, hey, Tucker, Hannity, or Matt out, whoever. Yeah, you kind of. like said a little nasty thing about Pfizer there now you do know that without them we're out of business like tomorrow right so you're going to shut your fucking mouth and you're going to you're going to talk about you're going to get mad about something else tomorrow something that isn't financially

threatening maybe i don't understand or advertising on that gigantic corporate level but it just seems like if if you don't take the money from Pfizer why isn't pepsi right there behind them why isn't levi's jeans right there behind them why isn't i want to tell him taylor tell me if I'm right. It's because their viewing audience is so old that they don't change their mind. If they're Coke people, they'll be Coke for the next seven years, otherwise until the day they die. And then, but if we're talking about like a blood pressure mid, well, this is a new area for them where maybe they're open to ideas. Yeah. Yeah, it's exactly it. It's just their audience is dwindling because there's a lot more competition in the entertainment sphere than there was. And so they're taking a

hit there and then the only people largely that watch network news are old and so like yeah they're not going to switch to sprite zero they're not looking for new jeans they're set they've got their shit there they're looking for like vacation packages and drugs and so that's what you see advertised there in the 90s or at least like my part of the night levies were the cool jeans if you didn't wear levies it was like wrangler you're so lame you don't wear levi's like Like, are your parents, are you okay at home? Do you have food security? Like, like those chains, the only ones you wanted.

Everything else was kind of bullshit. Are you a cowboy? A cowboy, you know? In sixth grade, my girlfriend saw me in Wranglers and was like, you've got to stop it. Wow. Right? And I think Wranglers have taken their time at the top of the podium. But not in my mind, I'm set.

Levi's are the cool jeans. Rangler and Levi's, my whole life is a Walmart brand. like the cheap brand that like it like like middle tier at best but like like definitely not the no name oh my god there's there's there's i can't remember what the walmart brand is it's not they tried to rip off wrangler it's like cowboy jeans yeah it's a great value jeans or something but i don't know we always wore like american eagle or something like that yeah what are the cool jeans like what do you think a high school guy wants i would be levi that's what sydney's in right no she's an american she's an american eagle jeans and levi's and levi's i did

know American Eagle was cool again. Maybe it isn't, but I remember it wasn't, like towards the end of my high school years, it got to the point, or certainly by college, American Eagle was out of vogue. And in college, everybody was dressing like SEC kids with their fucking shorts and like boat shoes and

collared shirts. What's the one everyone tore me apart for wearing? I think it starts with an H and it's for kids. Hollister. Hollister gets in fashion again. Guys, call me. I still have like 20 nearly new shirts. Guys, you got to let me know what Hollister's cool. Do you remember going to Hollister, like, at the mall?

And it had, like, the entrance was, like, the entrance to, like, a beach bungalow. It, like, came outside of the store a little bit with, like, pillars. That was American Eagle. That was, American Eagle had, like, the beach theme. I remember Hollister being more, like, a club that I wasn't cool enough to go into. Like, their mannequins had abs and, like, like, groin bulges and, like, like, groin bulges and, like, nipples popping. Like, it was so sexualized for like 14 year old girl clothes. And all of the workers at Hollister. It was either Hollister or American Eagle. It was like a very cool store where

they hired like literally they were hiring the cool kids from high school. One of my ugly friends applied there and one of my attractive friends applied there. Guess who gets hired? And then he only worked there for like four months and he's like, I started getting really bad headaches because every 25 minutes, this girl walks around and sprays a huge amount of cologne everywhere. So that's why it always reeks in there. It's like, come home, just reek into this cheap cologne. You smell like, fuck, boy. The CEO had a ridiculous amount of plastic surgery to look young.

Oh, clothing company? It's been like 15 years. I don't remember now. I know what you're talking about. It might have been American Eagle. It was one of those trendy, like, mid-tier brands. I'm a big Coles guy now. Abercrombie and Fitch.

That's the one that I associate with like only hiring the three coolest kids in your high school. Like those were Abercrombie and Fitch. Yeah. That sold a lot of jeans. That's not that song. Yeah.

I don't know interesting about cool clothes now. The words are garbage. Then they had the big European meeting at the White House. And he literally had everybody. It was pretty cool to see everybody at that table. You got the Chancellor of Germany, Prime Minister. of the UK, the French prime minister or president or whatever,

like everybody's there, Zelensky's sitting at the table and they all had it like a, but nothing formative is done. It's all, it's like a show trial. It's like a show negotiation. They sort of introduce each other over and over. And they're like, oh, we're all glad to be here. We all want peace. We're all la, la, la.

And it's just like, why don't you want to get down to brass tax? It's very simple. This is very simple negotiations. This isn't some complex multi-layered corporate merger where it's like, all right, well, you'll get our R&D division, but we want 3% of the back-in for seven years multiple. This ain't that. This ain't some shark tank deal that's so weird with multiple sharks that you,

I don't know if that was a good deal or not. No, it's land, money, and that's it. It's, and security agreements. And Russia is saying, we get all the land. You get none of the security agreement. and you should probably pay us and Ukraine saying none of that and that is it we're stuck there there is no in between there is nowhere to go from there so this is all for show it's all a waste of time if you want to end the war give Ukraine a few more billion dollars worth of weapons that's how it happens

send troops send French troops in like that's what you need to do like you want to start world war three it's already happened war three is happening right now like let's think you think a regional conflict between Russia and Ukraine is World War 3. We'll know it's World War 3 when all of Europe and the U.S. is involved. It'll be over when and that's when it'll end. When we, I

When America joins, it'll end a few years later. That's what history tells us. And it's because we keep winning. All those Europeans, they take all that credit for World War I. No, we did all the heavy lifting. I've been thinking about the Russians lately. I don't want to like praise Russia. We landed two million troops.

We had like no army. two years later we had two million troops we put two million troops in europe and didn't lose one did you know that like in we moved two million troops from the u s u.ssa to the europe theater in world war one within two years and didn't lose any of them and i'm pretty sure we lost a lot of in transit i was i was like having the same thought as woody like i'm so sure this isn't true i know he meant two things one our record keeping was good and our boats didn't sink. Nobody crashed on the way.

We didn't lose any of them. Yeah. That's the only way that thing's going to end. It'll drag on forever this way. It'll drag on forever this way. Dude, that ties into what I was going to say. Like, Russia lost more people than the Jews did in World War II. A lot more.

Yeah, way more. No one lost more than the Russians did. No one. But they didn't quit. And here is Russia against Ukraine. And I was mentioning this to my wife. and he's like, Ukraine's got that same spirit. Like, they will fight to the last man just like Russia does.

It's not a surprise when you look at it through that lens that is not over yet. It won't end. It won't end. There's no way it'll end. It'll end when Putin dies. That's what we're waiting on. We're waiting on Putin to die. Well, that could be spread up with a pointy umbrella. You want to just be a like next man up situation? No. I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think it's a popular war. No, but he probably does a good job.

He doesn't allow for a next big guy. I saw some people who were like, no, this scene. They were like, what would happen if Xi Jinping died today? Is there anyone in position? They're like, I think it's swapping out. No one would be able to tell the difference. There's no one in position to take it. They said it would be a real problem for them if he died today.

There's a shortage of fat North Koreans. He's Chinese. But yeah, oh, and then so at the meeting, the meeting finally ends. Nothing, of course, happens. And then there's that great photo. Trump always takes world leaders now when they visit the White House to the gift shop. Have you seen the gift shop? Is it the one with the hats?

It's the one with the hats. He takes him into the merchandise room where he has no, he has no less than 20 Trump hats, all different. Gulf of, like three Gulf of America's all different colors. Three, make America great again, all different colors. Three like, like all of his slogans. Four more years. Trump, 2028. like he's got all the any and he's and they always take a picture of him in that room showing it off to like world leaders these are people who run countries he's like look at this manuel mccron who you you run france one of the one of the oldest and most revered countries and the planet check out my how about a mug you want snow globe guess what you need my money so buy this fucking trump snow go they have to stand there and nod and smile you see a cell

Perhaps my favorite stole a lot time, Mr. Donald. It's like, they just have to suck you. You should be like, Putin, I got you a trophy. It's super dope. It's this special glass circle with a gold base. You might like it. Mr. Trump, this is clearly grenade taped to. No, it's the apple.

He's for gift to me. What are you get? The World Cup trophy. That would be stole. Yeah, a World Cup movie. That would be hilarious if like next time Putin talked, he had like a re-gifted thing that's the world leader

we need to do more like yeah that shit is he's always been tacky like you shouldn't take rulers from real countries to the gift shop so like UK, France Russia Germany

but if like Lithuania Estonia Estonia if those rulers even get a chance to hang out at the White House you march them through the fucking gift shop You pick something out. You're here as a fucking courtesy,

your pretend country. You're totally pretend country. We were just slicing shit up after the Soviet Union. Yeah, there's something, there's something. Yeah, only the, but we, I do think it would be funny if Trump leaned in more to the, like, sporting stuff that Putin does. I've always thought that was funny about Putin doing the fake hockey thing.

Can you imagine how funny it would be Trump, like, receiving a kickoff? and then the Patriots have to let him run and get a lunchdown He does pretend to win golf tournament He's at a 10! He wouldn't be above pretending to win He'd be stoked on himself

You know what? Would be in his office next time he'd spoke to the country His touchdown ball would be right there on his fucking desk Then he'd pressure the NFL for like MVP I think I've all been some barely every year People say it Everyone's talking about it.

I saw like a list today just of all the things that have become commonplace, just sayings that Trump introduced over the past 10 years where like all like the people are saying this or like the worst deal in the history of deals, you know, we need a complete and total shutdown of X, Y, Z until we know what's going on. And, like, reading through him, he's been in the zeitgeist as a politician long enough. There were some where I'm like, no, he was the first guy to just be, like, wrong. Just like yelling at people wrong. Yeah. And it's like, oh, my God. Like, that's just so part of culture now. You just, you forget it.

A lot of, a lot of memeable moments. I watched the debate between, like, Obama and old man Vietnam, John McCain. and it was like, oh my God, this is so cordial. It's like these guys, why don't you just become his vice president, McCain? What the fuck? Like, you guys are so close in policy. You guys seem to agree on just about everything. Like, you like

each other even. You're friendly. Like, just make him your vice president. But then you see like modern day politics. If, uh, you'd like to be my vice president, please raise your hand. Nobody? Okay. Bob Dole's like, fuck. That guy gets a bad rap, but really it doesn't seem like he was a bad guy.

It just seems like he was kind of goofy, like not very exciting. Bob Dole, yeah. McCain was a total war hawk. Maybe Dole was too, I don't know. But like McCain's whole thing was War, War, War. I remember that year that Bob Dole had the Super Bowl commercial for Viagra, and it was when Viagra was new. And it was a big deal at the time. It was like, holy shit, that politics is admitting his dick doesn't work.

But everybody was like, yeah, that's big of it. My dick doesn't work either. That was a time when Republicans kept running these like uninteresting sort of dull candidates like Bob Dole, John McCain, etc. And Democrats always had this shiny toy. And now Democrats really haven't had like a good fun first choice since 2008. That's the last time they picked. their presidential candidate. Hillary was anointed. Kamala was anointed. Who am I missing one, right? I mean, Biden essentially was.

You know, it's, we'll see this next time around. I see Gavin Newsom. He's his information director, aka his tweetmeister, is doing a really good job. She's this, they're like, she's a woman of color. And I'm like, that lady is paler than me. out of here with that shit. Like, like, what did she? What did she get, an octaloon? Get out of here.

But she's got some, they've been, they've been mocking Trump on Twitter, just being like, nice and petty and juvenile about it. They're like,

we're going to send him back to Trump Tower. And then in parentheses, I heard it smells bad. Weird smell. He keeps referring to himself as America's favorite governor. I have the best maps.

Yeah. like it's funny and I think it's working because like whether it's a coincidence or not Trump has dropped the all caps tweets out of his repertoire recently he hasn't been going all caps that was a long overdue

that is just the most boomer ridiculous shit to be screaming entire posts I like to think that because he's not the one actually typing them it's always like a helper doing it that lady one of the hot ladies he hired yeah yeah I hope the caps ones are when he is yelling

Like he's yelling at her He dictates He dictates his tweets I've seen him do it From the desk of Donald Trump Dictated not read Yeah we'll see what Newsom does I think he's got a lot of negatives

I look forward to the next cycle It's gonna be fun But as I've said As I keep saying It feels like this presidency should be On waning Like almost over We're not just getting start

Dude it's in dog years somehow Like It lasts seven times longer than you think He's so embarrassed at times like there's sometimes when i'm like yeah don't trump's our president this isn't going to go your way and then there's sometimes where i'm like man that that oval office looks gaudy why'd you have to gold leaf everything you know that it's not even expensive it's not even expensive gold leaf is cheap they take gold foil that is down i don't know how thin gold gold leaf is but it's so thin

that it's basically free and then they just they were brushing it on to molding and and making it it's like dude, if you wanted to, and then he's got all these like golden urns above the fireplace. And I would maybe be impressed if each one were different. That would say to me that like each of these is a bit of antiquity taken from here and there. An artist and made that one and then a different guy made that one. And this one's from Bolivia.

But no, he's got like a matching set. Like it looks like some IKEA shit. It's so, when you're the richest country in the world, when you're the richest country in the world, you don't flash your money. You don't, what did he say? They say about, what Kanye say about wearing your chain on the outside when you're a billionaire? Chains are for millionaires, not for billionaires.

That's what I think about when I see Donald Trump's gaudy-ass White House. Like, dude, this is a 15 trillion dollar company that you're running these days. You don't need to flex $85 worth of gold leaf. Like, what are you doing? I was against the ballroom originally. And it was like, man, you know, like it's kind of a bad look. Prices are going up. The economy's slowing down.

Unemployment's going up. Like, jobs are slowing. And you're building a ballroom, a huge ballroom on the White House. It really feels like this out of touch, let them eat cake thing. And then I watch PBS, and they're like, the White House needs a ballroom. We occasionally entertain a lot of people. And this is the United States of America, setting up folding chairs on the grass outside to handle visiting dignitaries. And I'm like, okay, I guess America needs a big location in the White House to handle

this crowd. I get it. But I don't want Trump to make the ballroom. I don't like his sense of style. I don't know. It's going to be chandeliers, gold crown molding. It's going to be gaudy. It's going to be ugly. Can we just let anyone else build the ballroom? Apparently, we need it. Then, uh, yeah, that would be kind of funny if he was the one. Because I also

looking into it, saw that a lot of previous presidents. This was kind of their wish list too of like hey it's kind of sucks you know be in this super powerful country and then we have to set it up like this and then we go to like visit russia or france or like versailles or something and it's like this is now this is nice but trump doing it's not going to come off he's going to try and make it look like a versailles level thing but it's going to come off as like a marriott version a casino version i wanted to look like the inside of the vatic when trump visited the vatican and there was a wide shot where they really zoomed up

more than they normally would, just to show the room. And I was, oh, my God, is everything made out of marble? Is everything made of something that's incredibly rare and precious? Did an artisan touch every inch of this place? Who did that? Is that a Michelangelo on the wall? Like, every inch of the place is draped with, like, incredible opulence that's understated. And everything is crafted at this, at the highest level.

It's beautiful. You look at it, and you, have you been there? of course not, but I've seen it on the TVs. I went through the Vatican. They let you down in the vault, see the pedophile stuff? No, but I think there's like somebody's bones underneath that I was really curious about and they wouldn't give me answers. I was like, is it, like, is Jesus under here? And they're like, no, no, that's like his mom or something like that.

That's the funniest question to ask the Vatican. So what is, I'm not familiar with your guy's whole thing. are these like Jesus's bones? They're like, no, Jesus having the bones here would really undermine this story. I know who it is. It's St. Peter.

So St. Peter is one of the first 12 apostles, and he was the first pope of the church, and he's buried beneath the Vatican. Well, they wouldn't let me see his life. They have vaults beneath with tons of relics and stuff from antiquity that there's all sorts of conspiracy theories that there's a time I've heard that there's a time machine down there that they have a time machine

I've heard all sorts of things I don't know about that one but the bones shit is real like for sure they have lots of not just bones but like some of the relics it'll be like a case that has a skull in it and it's like this is Saint Michael of Jerusalem who was boiled alive in the year you know 41 and now it's that his skull you know you know has some property or power there's a there's a there's a vial of blood that's like set inside of a gold uh glass thing within a crucifix and there's something about it's still liquid after like a thousand years or something um i've heard someone

talk about how it's clearly some sort of parlor trick i most of i'll just stick with the catholics most of their religious stuff is about getting a commenter in there and blowing their minds without like incredible the inside of the church is and be like this is this is what paradise looks like this is where you go if you yeah just give us your money and you know you know do what we say dude if you had no internet and no tv and no way to see stuff from around the world and then you took like a pilgrimage to the vatican after living in memphis your whole life you would you would be like oh yeah this is the real this is the real religion yeah i was right It's it kind of really nailed it with his description like in the um with the understated opulence and how every square inch of it is impressive in its own way like it so i'm not a religious guy so i wasn't predisposed to being blow away by this building like i didn't walk in there having it with this like aura of greatness before seeing it but it was there afterwards it turned me into a fan of the architecture if you've ever stayed a nice who you

tell you're always one turn one wrong turn away from like the employee closet yeah yeah you go from all of a sudden the carpet's ripped in there and there's there's bottles of cleaner everywhere and and you know there's an old tv that's like got a crack in it that's like monitoring security or something like oh this is the wrong room what the fuck is this room this is bad i don't think the the vatican has a room like that i bet you turn the corner and you go to the bathroom you're like where do they get all this marble? Where did it all come from? Almost too many skeletons.

I think it's about time for dinner. I guess so. Famished. All right. Well, Kyle, I hope DDP gets back on a winning streak. I don't care about him. Again, it's not that I like DDP. It's that I hate Kamsat Shama.

I can't tell you, like, maybe I'm just bitter, but maybe I'm racist or something or xenophobic even, but I think I just despise that group of people for their skin color and their religion. That's my side of a story. And he's pro 9-11, so it wasn't like, I'm usually the guy defending these Abe Lincoln. bearded fighters this one's not my guy well you know two sides of every story I hate him

I hope somebody gets him look hey Israel here's this is your chance to get back in the wind column you know get some good PR God of Sanya I don't think he's that guy Oh no not Israel

I think he's talking about Netanyahu taking him out Oh oh oh oh Benjamin Nethon Yahoo of Israel He's got a lot more Firepower is in his way class So it wasn't a crazy thought.

You're absolutely right. Israel can't, he's got nothing for him either. Either Israel, out of Sonia, would get humiliated by confidence. He lost to Strickland. He lost to Strickland. Israel should retire and call it a win. Like, he had a great, great career. One of the top five middle weights ever, I don't know, something like that.

For sure. So great. You did great. But is this the stage in your career where you just take knockouts and traumatic brain injuries for dollars. There's a new sheriff in town. Like if you don't have an answer for that wrestling thing, then you, I'm like, no, I don't want the championship fight.

Let me fight number four. Let me fight number five. Like, there's no way I want to step in there with that guy when I know I don't have an answer for what he's got. It's incredible what he's doing. I hope something bad happens to him. That's the only way that we get out of this. Sometimes I pretend I'm in the ring with him.

And I couldn't have done any better than DDP, but I could suffer the same amount of damage. at one point he's in the fight he's got DDP in a crucifix position and he hits him with the tip of his index finger

I'm like what the fuck there's a lot as one of the strikes there's a lot of this like literally this like yeah I masturbate harder

than he hit DDP sometimes when we're hitting the home stretch you know we're sure sure BKN 574

forward.
